can type these up in 10 minutes or less and they generate more money than every review weāve done this year combined, 
Clicky-dic strikes againā¦
trying to stick with rumors that are reputable, this account gets a lot of entertainment stuff right. figure they got a video game scoop since itās tied to amazon
Itās all good. I even click on them, for you 
Next up, FIFA is going open-world! Lol. I know they originally wanted to go open-world with the reboot, I hope itās something scoped right and unique, not another gigantic by-the-book Assassinās Creed / Far Cry wannabe please.
It may feel icky or something, but I think itās the smart play.
Iāve been going to Pure Xbox for my timely Xbox news and rumours and this site for Xbox discussion, simply because you guys havenāt been doing that stuff consistently.
The forum is already miles better than Pure Xbox, so if the Xboxera front-page can become a reliable source for timely news and rumours, itāll definitely position itself as a very strong alternative to Pure Xbox.
Iāve no opinion on reviews, as I donāt read those anywhere.
itās rarely front-facing, so itās not āclick baitā. theyāre mostly for SEO, searching. itās about answering peopleās questions. I just did one for āwhen is GTA 6 coming out?ā itās not on the site unless you search for it, did the same for halo season 3 and that one has nearly 7k views because people want to know
Hmmmā¦
I was hoping to see the not so great sounding rumors squashed here.
The ones where it would be called Tomb Raiders, so multiple folks and Lara handing the torch to someone else.
Let that nonsense be BS please. Please CD!
Nice change of pace for Tomb Raider. Iāve always enjoyed CDās work so Iāll definitely be tuning in on this upcoming game. Iām just scared that being open world it could end up being filled with repetitive side quests but weāll see.
Would prefer the map setup of Rise of the Tomb Raider which is not only my favorite game in the franchise but also the best game in the franchise in my opinion.
Some additional āinfoā as per Neogaf who has GamingLeaksAndRumours Reddit as source (but it brings me to the main Reddit page of that)
- Generic Ubigame" structure.
- 4 companions with their own habilities.
- Open or semi-open world, not clear.
- Lara would have a motorcycle, to make it easier for players to explore.
- MMO elements.
- 5 villains, very stereotypical, including a rich man, a mob boss, and two brothers.
- Familiar characters returning, Jonah Maiava and Kurtis Trent.
- Lara will have a skill tree with spells.
- The game is a mix of various trends and genres.
So that one rumor from at least a year ago might be true after all. But iirc that rumor claimed weād be playing as these companions too, but that doesnāt seem likely. Good. TR is Lara, I donāt even need companions in there games to be honest.
Open world and what not, yeah, Iām cautiously optimistic.
Me too. Really love that interconnected, metroidvania-like world structure, like Jedi FO/Survivor and and God of War reboot.
I donāt doubt the next Tomb Raider will be awful (no exaggeration here, i.e. Crystal Dynamics have been getting worse & worse, aka thereās no miracles in game dev: less talent = lesser game) but I donāt believe this rumor at all.
Kurtis Trent comes from a big Tomb Raider flop from 20 years ago, i.e. no one other than the most hardcore fans (thatās probably myself in this instance) knows who he is.
I guess he might exist as a skin of some sort in an MMO but that would simply confirm my original point about the prospective next Tomb Raider āgameā mentioned here, i.e. awful!
Ive been a big fan of the āSurvivorā series of Tomb Raider reboot games. The action scenes, fighting/combat, the exploration and tombs, all wrapped up in a nice, single player experience.
The level of strategy i was happy enough with was the skills system and how you approached getting through a particular area (stealth, blow everything up etc) but i have no interest at in making teams and allies and so on, or trekking over ground, back and forward trying to find the next part of the story.
If they get the new ideas slickly implemented, then ill probably enjoy it as much as the previous 3, but it seems to me they are heading down a path that might effectively make this feel unrecognisable from what i experienced with the earlier games.
Iām cool with an open world Tomb Raider honestly. Just curious as to how far the open-ness would go and how theyād design the map.
